Hi Mary, Thanks very much for such a positive reply, we have got a couple of the funky pumpers pouches and they do seem to be working well, will have a look at the one you recommend too tho. It's so lovely and reassuring to hear it becomes as normal as wearing glasses - thank you.

Thanks for your replies, think we'll have a go with some different things and see which works best - guess that's all you can do! Thanks for advice :-)

Hi Sub, Just wanted to say, sounds like we're very much in the same boat!! My daughter turns 2 on Friday, she was diagnosed as type 1 in December. It's certainly not easy getting good BG results!! We have, like you been giving nova rapid after eating. To begin with we were only giving levemir...

Hi, My daughter (2 years old on Friday) has been fitted with a pump today! We are thrilled, and so far she seems to be accepting it well. Just wondered if anyone has any tips for sleeping with it? She wriggles around quite a lot, I've currently got it in a 'Pumpy' character pouch, lying next to...

Thank you SO much for that - your views echo exactely how we feel. My sister is type 1 diabetic, so like you I had some experience of diabetes (if a bit rusty) before our daughter was diagnosed. Your absolutely right - we all just want to do the best we can for our children. Thank you, your...

Just found this poem - struck a chord with me.... She walks down the hallway in silence so deep, Keeping watch over her, as her little one sleeps. With meter in hand, she opens her door, Making sure not to wake her as she crosses the floor. She sits on her bedside and brushes her hair, As...

Hmmmm...interesting...that goes against research I've read re: toddlers being put onto pumps. Interesting to hear your opinion on it tho.

You must be beside yourself having to wait that long...and continuing to do so! I agree the learning that you do whilst on injections must be really beneficial, as you and Harry say. We will keep reading and learning as much as we can while we wait. It just makes it all the more frustrating when...

Thanks, just ordered Pumping Insulin from amazon, will have a look for carbs and cals too - thank you! Do you mind me asking how old your daughter is? And how long she has been diabetic? Did you have to wait a long time for the pump?

Thanks so much for replies - I will look into getting the suggested book, so extra thanks for that suggestion! Great to have a place to just air your thoughts - and I've had so many whirling round my mind!!! :)

Thanks, it's really nice to hear from another Mum and to hear your take on it. I hope your sleepless nights quickly decrease as he (and you) get used to the pump. I keep swinging between thinking to myself to just 'get on' with doing the injections - but on the other hand, the fact that I've...

Thanks for your reply. From what I've been told so far the time involved is only two mornings from a nurse - then after care, which we possibly wouldn't need anyway if everything went well. Surely we, as parents, must be able to read information to understand how to manage the pump effectively...

Hi, I'm new to this forum. My 21 month old daughter was diagnosed in December. The diabetic team indicated she would be on a pump by February, I have now been told this is on hold for several months with no definite date for when it will happen. The funding for the pump is not an issue, however...
